Hi! I’m Rio from Japan.

I am a professional salesman and a minimalist traveler who traverses the globe in a business suit with ZERO LUGGAGE.
No bags, no laptop—just my suit and my spirit.
I have a toothbrush, but rely on my hosts for toothpaste, soap, etc. I am happy to contribute to shopping for food and household items!

​My mission in life right now is becoming a Bering Sea Crab Fisherman,
a position which I have secured for October 2026.

To prepare for the world's harshest seas, I perform 400 push-ups every single day, no matter where I am. I’m 36 years old and have a background as an instructor in gymnastics, tennis, and fitness training. I have even completed 3 Spartan Races while wearing this business suit!

​As a guest,
I am clean and very organized.

I am happy to help you with:
​Cooking simple Japanese meals
​Cleaning and organizing
​Laundry
​Fitness coaching!

​I value discipline, sincerity, and making lifelong friends. If you want to meet a "Suit-Wearing Samurai," let’s connect!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to interact with many people during my trip.
and need Practice English.
